If it's a fit, you'll pick a time to talk with Mark directly.Most Louisiana companies between $1M and $100M hit the same wall: they have outgrown founder-led marketing but cannot justify a $300K full-time CMO. A fractional CMO closes that gap - executive marketing leadership two to three days a week, accountable to revenue, across New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and the wider Louisiana market.
Engagements in Louisiana run $5,000 to $15,000 a month against roughly $250,000 to $400,000 a year for a full-time CMO. Whether you are scaling a energy company in New Orleans, opening a new Louisiana segment, or repositioning against larger competitors, the work starts with the one or two moves that actually compound.
Marketing a energy company in New Orleans is nothing like marketing a shipping business elsewhere in Louisiana - different buyers, different sales cycles, different competition. MarkCMO builds the positioning, demand engine, and channel mix around Louisiana's real industries rather than a generic template.
Whether your team sits in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or Shreveport, MarkCMO leads marketing as a single accountable executive - remote week to week, in the room for the moments that move the Louisiana business.

How Marketing Works for Louisiana's Key Industries
- Energy. Energy and oilfield-services companies sell to procurement teams and operators on long, relationship-driven cycles, so marketing is account-based and credibility-led, not lead-volume-led.
- Petrochemicals. Petrochemical firms market to industrial buyers on long cycles, so credibility, safety proof, and account relationships drive the work.
- Shipping. Shipping and port-linked firms market to a concentrated commercial buyer set, so relationships, reliability proof, and account-based demand outweigh broad advertising.

What Fractional CMO Actually Involves
When a Louisiana company in energy, petrochemicals, and shipping hires a fractional executive for the CMO role, they are not buying a deck - they are buying execution against a clear strategy built for New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport and the state's real buyers. Here is what every engagement covers:
- C-Suite Marketing Leadership - Operate as your Chief Marketing Officer on a part-time basis with full executive accountability for strategy, budget, and outcomes.
- Team and Agency Leadership - Manage your marketing team, agency partners, and freelancers with clear KPIs, accountability structures, and weekly operating cadences.
- Board-Level Reporting - Produce monthly pipeline and revenue attribution dashboards that give your board and investors a clear picture of marketing ROI.
- Strategic Planning - Own the annual marketing plan, budget cycle, OKRs, and the narrative that ties marketing investment to company revenue goals.
- Hiring and Org Design - Build the marketing org structure -- full-time hires, fractional specialists, and agency relationships -- scaled to your stage and budget.
- M&A and Fundraise Readiness - Build the marketing infrastructure and track record that supports higher valuations at fundraise or exit.
Who This Is Right For
Founder-led and growth-stage Louisiana businesses that have hit a marketing ceiling - energy companies scaling in New Orleans, shipping firms professionalizing their go-to-market, and PE-backed operators who need a revenue-accountable marketing leader now, not a nine-month executive search.
